Summary
A very short camera-track fragment, dated 16 May 2013 in Nagyvarad, of a conversation between an elderly informant and an interviewer. The Yiddish passages are partly garbled, and one Hungarian aside mentions someone called Ánka. The speaker talks about being glad to have lived to see the visit and about heating and firewood in winter.
Stretches
00:00–00:52
The speakers greet each other. The informant says she did not expect to live to see the visit and does not want to live through another winter. She says she can no longer heat and has firewood. Hungarian remarks mention Ánka, who makes the fire. A question about Ánka is put in unclear Yiddish. The recording ends mid-conversation in mixed Yiddish and Hungarian.
